Scanning electron microscope can realize fine characterization of surface morphology of complex structure, fracture and the like by using electron imaging, and can also realize acquisition of composition information, element contrast information and transmission electron imaging of specified area on the basis of original surface morphology observation by means of a probe such as backscattering, energy spectrometer and projection kit. The sample type, size, conductivity, surface state, sensitivity to electron beam and vacuum and sensitivity to temperature will all limit the observation effect of the sample, so the sample stage of the scanning electron microscope is crucial to the observation result.
